I’m curious as to how everyone establishes prices on FS items. I seem to have two prices too high or too low. I know the search function here is supposed to be a source but my search skills apparently suck. Anyone here using eBay as source???

Evilbay is largely fantasyland. Someone once saw a mint NOS part sell for $X. Now they think their rusted, worn out part is worth X.

Every now and then an honest part & deal show up there but they are few and far between.

As buyer my typical buy range is 30-60% of new give or take based on condition, part rarity, OEM quality vs aftermarket crap, etc. When stuff starts getting more than 40-50% of new, why buy used?

On the few parts I’ve sold here in the forum I try to move parts quickly, wanting to keep parts in the community and try to keep my buying price model in mind as I set a selling price.

If you use eBay to gauge pricing for anything (not just 914 parts), be sure to search for sold items/completed transactions vs. what sellers list items for. BIG difference. People can list something for whatever they want. Doesn’t mean anybody is going to buy it. Thus, sold items/completed transactions is the way to search.

If you have something of value, I’m happy to throw in my 2 cents. Small stuff, I’ve just been giving away so I haven’t really kept up with prices.

Thanks…Mark and Mark…..I hate to bother people on individual things but appreciate offer… Good points and supports my feeling about eBay numbers……sometimes just silly.

Yep, Ebay is never, never land. Lots of hot air and loaded with BS.
